ALLEN, DENTIST ''" Bxtrwilon J.aten Method There's Trouble Brewing Around the Bung-hole There was a ripple of excitement in Alliance Saturday night when it oc eanic known that a raid was being made on the houses of ill repute, charges having been made against the keepers of dispensing liquid re freshments to their guests. Two 01 more detectives, under the leadership of Carl Slatt, of Lincoln, have been here for several weeks securing evi dence and when the officers, consisting of the regular police officers, Laing and Cox, Sheriff Wiker 'and deputy, Con. Stirkle, M. F. Donovan, Messrs. Wilson and Hogle of the railroad force, swooped down on those resorts they secured two barrels of beer and a small quantity of liquor. Queen Snow, Nellie Thompson, Georgia Palmer and Jennie Woods had a preliminary hear ing before County Judge Berry yester day and gave bonds in the sum of $300 each for their appearance at the next term of district court, which wilf be held in December. The detectives testified that they bought booze at the places of business of these women and in one instance the good old beer the genuine article was dispensed from a tray on which an 'hop ale' bottle occu pied a prominent place. As thedetective put it, "that was the latest scheme in augurated." But that was not all. George Smith got his foot in it on the charge of sell ing booze to the weary wanderer about town and he to was bound over to the district court. Yesterdav Everett Cook and F. J. Dctzold were brought into court, charg ed with selling liquor, but when the witnesses were put on the stand they swore that they bought no booze from Cook or Betzold and the defendants were discharged. W. O. Cheney, one of the witnesses, was then placed under arrest and bound over to court. Complaint was made against John Anderson, manager of the drug store at Hemingford, and he was bound over to the next term of court. It is not improbable that a petition will be presented to the distiict judge to call a grand jury and that the gov ernment will take a hand in the matter. No law abiding citizen will deny that all bootlegging should be stopped and those who violate the laws should be punished. However, The Herald does not believe it is for a newspaper to say that anyone is guilty until it has been so proven in court, hence we state only the proceedings of record and refrain from further comment at this time. D. W. Hayes, superintendent of the city schools, attended a mcctiug of the executive board of the state teachers' association at Lincoln Saturday. The carpenters arc at work putting in the stairs in St. Agues' academy that take place of the temporary ones and when this is finished the building will be completed throughout.

They seem to think two suits of clothes bought at one time, or two overcoats, would b'e ex travagant. The fact is, if you buy our Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes, two suits or two overcoats at a time would be economy. A raincoat, shown here, or a fancy fabric overcoat for daily wear; and a black or oxford overcoat for dress occasions; a fancy weave suit of some new color and pattern for business, and a black or blue serge for changing occassionally, and for dressier times; every man ought to have such an outfit. You'd find it economy; and the clothes will all last last longer if you don't wear them continuously; get them pressed occasionally. We want to see our customers dressed right.
